  Numerical Investigation on Medium Velocity Impact Response of Hybrid Metal Matrix Composite Laminate

  By Santhosh Kumar D, Akarsh J K Nair, Manikandan A, Sathish Kumar S, Thiyakarajan S

  Abstract: The current investigation centers on examining the numerical analysis of a hybrid metal matrix composite laminate resulting from impacts inflicted by diverse projectiles on the composite structure. Composite materials are chosen based on their inherent properties and compatibility in terms of bonding with other materials, forming the layers for the hybrid metal matrix composite. The fiber taken for the research paper was Kevlar and Sisal because they both bear good …

  Carbon-Al Synergy: Investigation of Fiber Stacking and Orientation on the Mechanical Properties of Al-CFRP Metal Matrix Composites

  By Ganesan S., Saranraj I, Sravanth Chandaka, U Indra Sai, Sai Nadu Teja, Rexith Reginmons

  Abstract: The current study examines the mechanical behaviour of Aluminum-Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (Al-CFRP) composites fabricated using compression moulding technique, a novel approach combining lightweight aluminium’s ductility with CFRP’s high strength-to-weight ratio. The polymer composites were fabricated by stacking aluminum alloy sheet of 0.5mm thickness and pre-impregnated by 12 layers of carbon fiber cloth of 200 gsm, with epoxy resin between layers, followed by consolidation under controlled temperature and pressure in …
